Below is a roundup of news, politics science, and humor. I hope you enjoy.
First, I am still unemployed AND uninsured, so I will keep putting in a plug for myself. If you want to skip to the news roundup, just go straight below the fold.
Until unemployment benefits kick in or my tutoring and editing freelance gigs start bringing me work, my only real source of income is the trickle from my Amazon Affiliate store. If you are doing any Amazon shopping, consider doing it through the above link. As always I would like to recommend ALL Kossacks read The Political Brain, because reading it will help Democrats win. I also want to highlight this book about Holocaust Hero Raoul Wallenberg written by a dearly missed friend.
Second, anyone in the NYC area, if you know someone who needs tutoring or other kinds of help, here is my page on the University Tutor website. I am also available for editing college essays, scientific papers, resumes, etc.
Finally, any scientists out there who need someone to edit a paper, I am freelancing through ScienceDocs.com. Soon will be blogging for them as well!
Sorry for the self-advertising. Now onto the news, science and randomness below...
